I am in an office with multiple machines all wanting updates from various yum repositories, is there some way to cache data so that all machines could use the cache. I could change the cachedir to make it available to all machines, but am concerned it may not be safe if 2 machines both tried to access the cache simultaneously. I could use a proxy server, but each repository has multiple URLs in the baseurl, and the multiple URLs will defeat the cache in the proxy server. I could remove some of the URLs from the baseurl, but then may have problems with availability. I am reluctant to mirror the repositories, since only a small number of rpm's are required from each repository, and I don't want to hold extra data unnecessarily. Is there some standard way to do this ?, sorry if this is a FAQ, but I did check the FAQ first. Thanks in advance Adam Lelean
